What you can do to reduce air pollution

Encourage your family to walk to the neighbourhood market.

Whenever possible take your bicycle.

As far as possible use public forms of transport.

Don’t let your father drop you to school, take the school bus.

Encourage your family to form a car pool to office and back.

Reduce the use of aerosols in the household.

Look after the trees in your neighbourhood.

Begin a tree-watch group to ensure that they are well tended and cared for.

Switch-off all the lights and fans when not required.

If possible share your room with others when the airconditioner, cooler or fan is on.

Do not burn leaves in your garden, put them in a compost pit.

Make sure that the pollution check for your family car is done at regular intervals

Cars should, as far as possible, be fitted with catalytic converters.

Use only unleaded petrol.
